The Oversized Coat

Coat: c/o Santa Fe Apparel // Shoes: Nine West, old (similar) // Sunglasses: H&M, old (similar) // Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs // Ring: J. Crew, old (similar)
One of the trends that I always loved to see during the fall/winter is oversized coats. I’ll admit, I’ve always been intimidated by anything “oversized”. When you’re short and petite, you naturally look for things that are more fitted and make you appear taller. Anything big and you suddenly have the fear of looking like you’re just drowning in fabric! I’ve struggled with this concept for years cause it’s just so hard to find outerwear that looks normal on a short person. Yet when I saw this wool coat online at Santa Fe Apparel, I took the chance and was pleasantly surprised at how flattering it was! I’m pretty sure it’s because of the A-line silhouette and let’s just talk about the adorable black buttons: it’s so retro yet stylish! This is the perfect coat for any college fashionista who wants to stay warm while walking through campus yet doesn’t want to wear another one of those ugly puffy coats. If you’re looking for more stylish coats, Santa Fe Apparel was kind enough to give my readers 20% off their purchase with the code: SSAS20
Let me know if you find something you like! What do you think about oversized coats?

  16. I love that coat! I love anything oversized, but like you said, oversized things tend to be intimidating! I don't want it to make me look huge! But even though this coat is oversized, it looks amazing on you!

  22. I agree! I'm super petite (at 4'11) so oversized is like extra oversized on me. But I love this coat! It's such a different look!
